Downey earned a fine art master's degree in painting and sculpture from London's Slade School of Art, where he studied under Bruce Mclean. He grew up in a United States Marine Corps family traversing towns across the United States, soaking up influences of diverse surroundings that would later add to his perspective. Pratt Institute drew him to New York City in 1998, where he first cultivated his study of fine art. Stimulated by the urban buzz, he sought out alternate methods for depicting his environment, deciding on a film degree for formal study.

Brad Downey currently lives in Berlin.
